Wow, just saw one of the suspects execute a police officer after a close combat situation. Can't believe Fox News aired that.

Yeah I saw this too, around the pillar. How do they put that on TV?

 

[GaimeGuy]

Police in America can shoot with immunity

I'm just sick of police shooting civilians, civilians shooting police, civilians shooting each other, suicidal people shooting themselves, radical white supremacists shooting up churches, gangs shooting each other, people shooting their children at gun ranges, people shooting elected officials, sick as fuck of everyone and anyone being able to get their hands on a gun and everything is A OK until they, with a simple twitch of the finger, cause pain,, misery, fear, suffering, sadness, death, and anger to their communities, their neighbors, their families.

If this is the cost of second amendment rights, it's not a right worth having. We have made a gross and grievous error in making it so.

 

[Already Torn]

You are not being brave or daring with this attitude.

And anybody getting squeamish because they saw evidence the events they've been reading about actually happened could use the reminder.

Holy shit, the situation has certainly got worse since.
Have they caught any suspects yet?.

Two suspects in custody.

 

[MIMIC]

Dallas PD press conference upcoming.

-Per CNN

 

[mreddie]

Can show a person being executed on TV, but if you show a titty people lose their fucking minds.

And this is Fox News who normally act as some morality police.

Fox News did show a guy putting the gun in his head and shooting himself before. Can't believe they still haven't learned.

 

[UberTag]

Feel a lot of tension in this thread. Wish everyone would just take a deep breath.

I think the tension is justified for anyone living in the United States right now. I won't begrudge them for it.

 

[sphagnum]

Jesus @ that Fox footage.

Gonna take a guess that the killer was former military or something.

 

[GameAddict411]

LoL if you think BLM is behind this.

I have no clue what you are talking about. How would the BLM benefit from this exactly? It's going to hurt the movement badly.

 

[reckless]

What did Fox News show?

A video of a guy shooting a cop point blank multiple times...

[Salty Rice]

I cant believe they showed a cop getting killed on fucking TV.

As if the terrorist blowing himself up wasnt bad enough.

Fuck is wrong with the media in this country man.

Its better than just naming a number of deaths imo.

It shows how real this is and that there needs to be a change.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

What did Fox News show?

CQC firefight between a shooter and a cop. Cop got behind him, but somehow the shooter wasn't hit. Cop was behind a pillar trying to get better angle on the shooter, but the shooter ran around and basically blew away the cop point blank, clear as day on video.

If you've ever watched a paintball match in an arena and see people running on a flank and getting a bunch of quick shots off on the run, it was literally like that

surreal

 

[GlenChivas]

Is this still just a local Dallas PD issue or has any other group like the FBI, US Marshall's, Texas Rangers, become involved?

 

[AusRoachman]

Wow at that fox 4 footage, they will do anything for ratings wont they. RIP to that poor cop who was basically executed.

Wasn't it Fox 4? The affiliates are run differently.

 

[royalan]

Guy on CNN finally giving voice to what I've been thinking all night.

This was likely in planning for a while. Protest provided cover.

 

[nhlducks35]

Probably no suspects. I have a really hard time believing that after all this they were taken peacefully in a traffic stop.

OKC bomber was taken the same way

 

[sangreal]

What did Fox News show?

they showed the gunman come around a corner and shoot a cop point blank

 

[SchrodingerC]

Two suspects in custody.

Oh thank god they are off the streets.

 

[TheAbsolution]

He's the only anchor who's done a decent job during this disaster so I'm not that surprised NBC let him continue onto the main news segment.

He may be a big liar but he's still a decent anchor. Lester Holt is still better though.

Federal units have been reported on the scene.

back to watching speedruns

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Oh shit don't follow the #dallas on Twitter if you don't want to see the FOX footage. Feel like it's only a matter of time before CNN gets it without realizing what it is.

 

[Already Torn]

Oh thank god they're off the streets.

As far as I know there's no confirmation that those were the only suspects, but they definitely have two.

 

[Biske]

Looks like I missed it too.

Oh don't worry, you can see it on twitter.

What a sickening night.

 

[Brakke]

Marshals at least.

I wouldn't bet against that.

 

[DietRob]

I just finished The Witcher 3 latest DLC and going to GAF to write about it, then I read this shit. The movement for a reform is basically killed. These murderers are enforcing the stereotypes around black people that they are a bunch of thugs. You can be outraged, and sad about what happened to the guy who was killed a couple of days ago(and many before him), but doing all this damage goes against what they were protesting against.

It's just a tragic night and I hope that the people who are hurt recover.

Breh, you have no idea what you are talking about. This shit had nothing to do with the BLM movement. Go back to gaming and post your opinions about Witcher 3 maybe your a little more informed about that.

Nice "thug" dogwhistle too. Smh

 

[Irishonion]

That video is freaking un real.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Good god, that footage.

 

[JohnTinker]

Watching the hotel video again, that is tactically trained movements from the shooter. Good grief I'm glad they've been taken alive so we can trace this back

def not watching that footage. going to bed soon. gonna wait for the presser first.

 

[johnny956]

That shooter was trained and knew what he was doing

I agree with you, but even if we could somehow ban all the guns from civilians, police would likely still have them. And we'd still have police executing civilians.

So I'm all for a long-term "ban all the guns" plan, but not even that would solve the American pathology.

damn that's horrible.. if snipers were positioned on the roof tops maybe this situation wouldn't have gone so far. its probably something police should look into going forward.

Things like this automatically = all hands on deck from all law enforcement agencies. You will get police from surrounding towns, state, and federal agencies respond.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Nevermind

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Are those shots ricocheting off of railing where the filmer is standing? @_@

no, bullets hitting the concrete and making sparks.

 

[Kite]

I've been all over Texas since I moved here 2 years ago and I've only seen one person open carry anywhere. It's not common at all.

I've lived in Texas for 30 years, I've never seen anyone open carry.

 

[Lyn]

But they allow it now.

If you see someone with a gun in Texas do you think "How bizarre, that's only been legal to do for two years now!"

I'll let you know when I see it. So far, in the 34 years that I have lived here (Houston area), the only people I have seen displaying guns are police with them in their holster. I know some people who conceal carry, but the key word is concealed and it is mostly women who carry it for protection. They hope to never use it, and certainly never want to put it on display.

The whole point is, other states have had open carry laws in place for years, so there is little reason to denigrate Texas specifically for it other than to reinforce stereotypes. As someone who has lived here her whole life, it is nothing what people make it out to be here.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I can't watch this video, I'm done watching people die. This week is too crazy. I wasn't a fan of Hillary but I hear she's in favor of gun control. These crazy people with guns have to be dealt with. Regulations, something. Ugh!

 

[SchrodingerC]

As far as I know there's no confirmation that those were the only suspects, but they definitely have two.

I guess I should remain cautiously optimistic then.

 

[DirtyLarry]

I don't think it does either. Just trying to explain why most cops who blindly defend this stuff do it. My dad is guilty of this shit, he worked 20+ years in the shittier parts of NYC during the 80s and 90s, before it became "disneyland". I've heard plenty of stories but I can separate the acts of individuals from the entirety of a race. Sadly, most guys who have been on the job long enough and towed the company line can't anymore.

Exactly. And the member who responded to me about their father was not even thinking about the fact I am reading dozens and dozens of comments on my friends posts from other cops who work with my friend who are all, literally every single person and his one Facebook post had 68 comments, in agreement. Being cops in Newark & Elizabeth NJ has turned them into something most people could never even imagine. As I said they'll defend any and all cops as a result. It is truly a sickness imho.

Thank you. That was hard to watch,

 

[Switch Back 9]

After seeing that footage I would not be surprised if the shooter(s) were ex-military. Dude looked very comfortable maneuvering around those pillars and firing.

 

[thenight11]

God I hope they catch everyone who did this. I don't even know what to say anymore.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Controversy aside, glad to have Williams back. He seems to know how to handle these events professionally and respectfully.

 

[vpance]

Shooter was wearing body armor. The cop that snuck up behind him had no chance
